Made me feel I was sitting in the garage, sipping a brew, gratefully listening to someone who knows a lot . . . a lot more than me. Quite the treat!
Just installed the booster plug . Easy install but spent more time arranging the cables so the cover could go back on nice and snug .
Bought it to solve the intermittent stalling which triumph could only offer an update ( which didn’t solve it ) excellent results after an hour test ride , no more dip in revs , giving that worry of a stall & no loss of ave fuel consumption too. Recommended
👍
Despite the controversy on whether this helps or not, I wanted to try it myelf, cause I understand that all modern engines run on a too lean mixture. Ordered the plug, and followed your instruction. All easy, quick delivery, even to Switzerland and easy to install - the plug that is - once you have removed the exhaust. Really, pay good atttention on how the upper and lower exhaust screws with dampers are mounted. Now the driving. Throttle response definitely is noticebly better, it revs easier - all more fun. Yet the biggest change brought the fuel. Just out of curiosity I refilled it with 98 octane gas. Now that made the difference - I think now it runs as it always was intended to do. Never will go back to 95 octane. What I forgot and ask any follower to do: Please let the engine talk - please do a picture of your spark plugs before and after installation of the plug and let us see it. Really interested to see that.... And, don't tell your dealer, they might refuse warranty claims.
That's why I'll be buying everything from *Tec Bike Parts.* Brilliant.
Installed my booster plug and the bike runs better than ever. I highly recommend installing it.
That's fixed it. Install took about 30 mins, replacing the nut assembly from overtightening a heat shield bolt about an hour. Now it has a galvanised bolt adorning the heat shield; now it is a Triumph. Problem of stalling seems gone now or at least greatly reduced. As Mr TEC mentioned, after idling down a hill it used to struggle to get up and going again and I also found maneuvering at low speed a nuisance before due to lack of idle. Much better now, like a normal old school bike. Thanks again to TEC parts :)
Hi there, installed BP, opened filter and DECAT/XPIPE on my TTR all from TEC. Have Shorties opened and the engine just thanked me. Sound brutal, engine response spot on and revs perfect. No hesitation to say pure joy ride. Ecu calibrated itself. Dont need more, done 100 km on known ride to compare and just go for it if U want to refresh your ride.
I had a booster plug on my Tiger 1050 a few years ago. Worked great, took the snatch right out of the throttle, well worth it
Just ordered a plug for my scrambler! Experienced the same stalling you were talking about and it can be a real hazard in traffic or off-road. Thanks for the enlightenment.
Blimey, ordered this 5 days ago and it came today, and I'm in New Zealand! These guys are good.
Gorge stop bringing shit out for the scrambler, your costing me fortune.
What a nice relaxing tutorial. Very easy to follow.
Your videos are so informative! Thanks buddy 💯
I've used these on two different bikes an MT 07 and A Triumph Street twin. The MT07 was a good result when it was more or less stock with an aftermarket exhaust. The Street Twin was a waste of money to install it, the water cooled twins unlike some earlier bikes, and bikes of different brands run rich out of the box, (confirmed by independent dyno tests). All you succeed in doing on the Water cooled twins is making them run even more rich in the open loop. Even with an aftermarket exhaust and airbox modification (removing snorkel) there is no need to use a Booster Plug, they will not in any regard make your bike faster, but may make it smoother at low throttle due to an over rich fueling.
Hi
On the early street twins they were quite rich anyway and did not have stalling or throttle snatch issues. we have found on 900cc models after 2017 the stock mapping is a lot leaner and the bikes work better with a boosterplug.
The boosterplug is designed to work best with a stock set up and if other things are changed may not give the best results. We offer a full 90 day refund if not 100% satisfied and boosterplug give a lifetime factory warranty with them.If you have an extensivly modded bike I would normally go for a powercommander with a bespoke tune for the bike. But this is expensive overkill on basically stock bikes.
Great tutorial as always George 👍🏻
I put one of these on a '22 Triumph Street Scrambler (900cc). It cured the off idle stumble.
What a great video! Keep up the awesome work 🤙
Looking forward to installing the Booster Plug on my RE 650.
Great video and explanation. Well done sir.
Loving these scrambler vids, hope for some hand guards vids soon cause the stock ones are ehhhh
Nice stuff lads 👍🏻
I just ordered one for my ScramblerXE 1200!! I’m tired or the random stalling. I’ve had it in the shop twice in the last year, most recently last week...after 13,000+ miles I’ve had two bouts with the stalling and I’m over it! I sure hope this works!!!
any update? curious if this fixed it for you
Dylan Martin yes! Since installing the Booster plug, I also installed the SPEngineering Slash Cut shotgun exhaust and the bike is phenomenally better now! ZERO stalls!
@@oso_nomada so awesome! I want one!
great video, very informative.
i love listening to people that know what they’re talking about.
wind if you could explain why my 2022 Scrambler 1200XC won’t start right away.
it turns over for a few seconds.
i let go of the start button to not burn up the starter. then try it again and it starts.
it only had 1000 miles in it. it used to start up fine, but ius still new and i don’t like that it won’t start right up. it does run great.
i have been using high octane fuel.
could this be the reason why ?
another issue i’m have that started IMMEDIATELY after the first service at 600 miles, is that the bike hops while i’m letting the clutch out from a stop. mostly when the engine is cold, BUT i did not notice this before the service.
the dealer says i’m still getting used to the bike.
i say he’s a jerk, and is just dismissing what i’m complaining about. or doesn’t know why it’s happening.
he explained that if it only does it in first gear, it’s ok.
i say there crap.
do you have any thoughts on either of these problems?
Do boosterplug help if my bike run Lean? Have grom with exhaust and intake
can you use the booster plug from a tigerxc 800 on the scrambler 1200xc
Thanks for the video. Any plans on a slip-on exhaust for the XE/XC?
Yes prototype testing now all done, production slip on pipe should be ready late Spring 2020
@@georgemilburn6213 That's excellent news. Can't wait. Thanks for the reply.
@@georgemilburn6213 will the slip on come with the necessary EU papers for it to be road legal? I absolutely love the look and sound of the slash cut slip on Triumph installed on Guy Martin's bike for the Great Escape jump. Unfortunately the replicas I found for sale are too loud (no bafflers) and hence come without any homologation documentation. Running these over here in Switzerland will cost you GBP 2000+ in fine and admin fees, plus you will have to walk home without the bike and your license gets suspended for a month. Just not worth it. Putting my hope into your slip on!
@@georgemilburn6213 Is it possible to get a sneak peak of the exhaust?
Can you use any booster plug with any motorcycle?
I’ve just recently picked up a ‘23 1200XE. Would you recommend the power commander on a stick bike or only if swapping the stock silencers and therefore removing the cat?
Does the booster plug reduce or eliminate the ‘popping’ on the speed twin 1200 motor when you roll off the throttle. I ask as I find that part of the character.
Yeah man!
Is this same plug available for the RE Interceptor/GT? If so can you compare it to the Power Commander? Thanks.
Yes power Boosterplugs for Royal enfields on our web shop now, no need to use a power commander unless you are doing a lot of engine mods. It would be overkill on a basically stock bike.
When do we get the Rally exhaust?
Will the Booster plug void the factory warranty? Can it be detected if removed before taken the bike in for service?
Hi, The boosterplug is not detected when the dealer plugs in the Triumph service computer. But if you wanted to avoid any warranty argument you can simply unplug it
Trying this now, and the right hand side panel is a pain.. 1 hour later, still no joy..
I recently purchased a 2022 1200 XE and never noticed any problems. Did Triumph maybe richen up the fuel ratio in the newer models? Also, I’m in the US, don’t know if that matters. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you sir!
I also have a 2022xc and haven't noticed a stalling problem, but after installing an aftermarket Zard exhaust, I found the bike to be noticeably harder starting when cold.
Still no problems? Mine has this stalling on start up issue intermittently
@@PercyJackson93 I’m sorry for the problem you’re having. I’m not having any issues with mine. If you’re anywhere near the Lehigh Valley in PA there’s two very good Triumph dealers with skilled mechanics. Please let me know.
@@mijoizagas3747 it's possible that they fixed the issue with the new Scramblers. I have the 900cc model from 2019. It usually just needs an ecu reset but it can happen fairly often. I'd love to get the xc in a few years if all goes well but I'm fairly happy with the street scrambler
Hello, i have a question: since i have installed my booster plug, it makes a ‘ticking’ sound, is that normal ?
My scrambler stalls often if I blip the throttle while at a red light. Asked the dealer, they said there are no mapping updates. Very annoying.
Do you think the booster plug might help with that issue ?
I already have a booster plug on my Triumph Bobber. Maybe I need to get one on the Scrambler too.
Also I am wondering if all booster plugs are the same ? same booster plug will work for Euro and US bikes ( Scrambler ) ?
I had the same problem on my scrambler and the boosterplug cured it
@@georgemilburn6213 that is good to hear!. I think it's time for me to order one then.
Is this mod still a good choice for a 2023 chrom edition as this is older film please
I would assume that you can’t do this with Euro 5 Bikes ,??, Thanks
Hey Gorge. Can this be installed with stock exhaust? Or should i wait until install my whole system?
Hi
Yes it will work fine with both
Anything like this available for my '09 Thruxton?
Hi
Yes we have them in our webshop, see www.tecbikeparts.com/product/fuel-booster-plug-air-cooled-triumph-efi-900-twins-se-t100-bonneville-speedmaster-america-thruxton-900-scrambler/
Come there revolution these euro 1...5 legislators will be first against the wall..😊 cheers from dave...George is there any plans for himalayan parts...😊
Yes have some now and more in development
@@georgemilburn6213 cheers..
I bought to my Ducati 999 but not installed yet
Any solution for a 22 model?
I fitted one to my Thruxton as it was promoted as addressing the stalling issue, unfortunately in my case it didn't work. Power Commander and custom map did though. What problem does this this fix on these bikes? (Sorry, haven't watched the whole video yet). I know Tune ECU has recently been adapted to work on newer Triumph ECU's which provides options for mapping.
When is the plug for the RE650 due? I am putting my hand up for one please.
I sent an email the Sunday you were closed for the holiday for an order in Australia I am waiting on still. Should I resend it? Cheers gents.
Due to be ready mid November
@@georgemilburn6213 Thanks George. I will get it with the mirrors and stuff I emailed Matt about when they come in Dec. Loving ya work gents.
Update: UPS just delivered my TEC Booster Plug! Woke up this morning, got the ScramblerXE down to the Booster Plug plug in...so I was ready to go! Plugged it in, put the silencers back on and heat shields then fired the bike up and ran it at idle (from cold) till the fan came on. Took it for a varied ride on the freeway, surface and neighborhood streets, easy smooth acceleration and a handful of “get on it” accelerations...WHAT. A. DIFFERENCE. Right now I’m 98% excited and relieved at the noticeable difference...BUT, tomorrow morning will be the real test. Lately my beloved ScramblerXE has been giving me trouble at cold start and maintaining revs. Also, the stop sign at the end of the street...she dies. Fires right up but dies...then 5 minutes down the road, at the light before the on ramp...same thing. After work, same thing. Anyhow, I’m hopeful the difference I felt will fix the dying issue! My Triumph dealer has no idea what is happening. They’re awesome and super willing to listen and run diagnostics...but they never find anything. I hope I have some good news for them tomorrow night after I get home. What’s strange, I haven’t had any issues in the 13,500+ miles (1 year and a month) I have had it, other than the stalling issue back in October and now in March. My wife suspects summer to winter and winter to summer blends...which might be an issue or just a coincidence. Well, got some riding to do! More to come!
Any update on how it's going?
Tried one on my BMW R1100rs,was a waste of time and money,although may work better on more modern bikes🙄
George, c'mon man. The silencers were off. You could have fired the bike up for half a minute with just the downpipes on....
we made up some guy martin' great escape' tail pipes and ran them up with the de catted front pipe . what a noise !
The Booster Plug does WONDERS to remove the jerking at low speed maneuvers on the Triumph 1200 engines! I only have a 29" inseam, so no #Scrambler1200 for me...
thank god I have carbs .. then thank god royal enfield built a 650 twin .for people who just want a real motorcycle ..with no b/s ... triumph is useless ..water cooled just not sells around me [ Daytona / central fla. .. Orlando ] usa area .. it took 2 years before anyone picked them up after the last dealers told triumph to pack it ..
